Comment on Would a surgical puncture to the skull relieve a pressure headache?

you should know the brain itself doesn’t have nociceptors (pain receptors). i’m not a doctor, but i conclude that any headache does not origin from inside the skull, except if neuroligical pathways that interpret pain signals are not working properly. It may feel like the headache comes from inside, but it’s actually coming from outside or the skull itself. thus a hole would only make it worse.

I know the brain doesn’t have nociceptors, but the surrounding cavity surely does, so theoretically wouldn’t a positive pressure change put strain on those receptors?
